Aboard smugglerJula Shryne's ship, the Jedi were kept safe for a time as they traveled through space avoiding the Empire. When Captain Shyrne's son, Jedi MasterRoan Shryne was rescued and joined the crew, the Jedi became reinvigorated and ready to confront the Dark Lords of the Sith who controlled the Empire. Landing on Kashyyyk in search of Grand MasterYoda, the Jedi were trapped on the world when the Empire launched an attack on the world, led by Darth Vader. When Vader confronted the Jedi, Lu attempted to kill the Sith Lord but lost his right arm to Vader's lightsaber. Saved from death by his comrades, the surviving Jedi were able to escape the planet, committing their lives to subtly sabotage the Empire from the inside until someone stronger came along and overthrew the Sith. Lu in particular, planned on joining a flight school where he could eventually lead a group of dissenters in an uprising.[1]
